Ministry of Agriculture
Confirmation of ASF in Hungary in wild boar Case 1
• A dead wild boar was found around the locality of Gyöngyös
(Heves county) on 19 April.
• Sample was taken and sent to the NRL (Veterinary Diagnostic
Directorate of National Food Chain Safety Office, Budapest) and
ASF virus was confirmed on 21 April by PCR test.
• National Disease Control Centre was set up on 23 April.
• The temporary infected area has been set up as a direct CVO order
as the part of Heves county north from the M3 motorway (E71) in
accordance with Council Directive 2002/60/EC.
• An exceptionally controlled area within the infected area has also
been set up with further measures.

Ministry of Agriculture
Confirmation of ASF in Hungary in wild boar Case 1
• Virus isolation positive.
• p72, p54 and B602L genes show 99-100% identity with Georgia
2007 strain
• Full genome sequencing in progress.
• Epidemiological investigation has not been finished yet, but it is
possible that the source of the infection was waste from pork product
illegally imported by workers from Ukraine.
• Some bigger factories of the area hire a great number of workers
from Ukraine, residing in hostel-like facilities in the neighbouring
villages.

March 2018), have to be implemented in the infected area:
• Obligatory organized and systematic searching of dead wild boars in the
hunting areas carried out by representatives of the hunting units
• Safe disposal of all found dead wild boars and wild boars shot because of
suspicion of ASF in dedicated pits established within the hunting ground

Ministry of Agriculture
Measures in the infected area 4.
Also the following measures referring to the high risk area, as ordered by
Decision No. 1/2018. of the Chief Veterinary Officer (published on 8 March
2018), have to be implemented in the infected area:
• Safe disposal of ABP from hunted wild boars: preferably in rendering plant,
probably in the disposal pits used for dead wild boars or on the spot of
shooting, followed by disinfection
• Decreasing wild boar population: „diagnostic shooting” of additional (healthy)
wild boars sampling (PCR) and rendering (+30% of the planned number of
sows and +25% of the planned number of young wild boars, above the yearly
hunting bag approved by the hunting authority)
• Ban of sustaining feeding of wild boars in the area; baiting allowed
10kg/km2/month (exception for trapping)
• Double fencing of wild boars farms and closed wild boar hunting areas (or
other solution which excludes the possibility of contact with free wildlife)

Ministry of Agriculture
Measures in the infected area 5.
Also the following measures referring to the high risk area, as ordered by

who were trained as described in CVO order 1/2018. for higher
risk areas (no dressing and evisceration and disposal of the
carcasses after sampling);
